Zhuhai-Hong Kong-Macao Bridge is opened now Hi everyone, today I will introduce a Mega project which must be very interesting for all ESRs of INFRASTAR project. This week, the world's longest bridge 'Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge' is opened officially. This bridge will connect three chinese cities: ZhuHai (in GuangDong province), Macau and Hong Kong. 4 hours drive will be shortened to half an hour. The 'sea-based' project bridge is about 55 km long. There are 3 main 'towers' The 'sail tower' meaning 'bon boyage' The 'Dolphin Towers' symbolizing ecological harmony. The 'Chinese Knots' celebrating connection of the three cities.  Two artificial islands link sections of the bridge with a 6.7 km undersea tunnel. The components of the bridge were pre-fabricated on production lines, shipped to the sea and assembled on site  33 tunnel elements were precast in 53 months without a single cracks. This
